    Well, you know, the resurrection of the Hebrew language after a couple centuries (EDIT: late to fix it, I meant millennia, but was frankly already drunk to notice) it was dead.

    There were and are neo-Aramaic (language closest to Hebrew, only it never died) speaking Jews in the world and in Israel, but making that the official language wasn’t sufficiently epic and those were, as you correctly pointed out, brown people for Zionist leaders back then.

    They love Masada story so much (its defenders spoke Aramaic), openly do that re-Judaification of Jerusalem etc.

    I mean, I don’t understand why you’re surprised.
